Superb! Just followed the guides and it went smooth. I'm so looking forward to the final result. Donation on the way.

Tip: any time you boot your phone it will be logging what it's doing. Running the simple command "adb logcat" from within a folder that's got adb.exe in it, will show what's going on while it's booting. Even if you're not that technical it's at least something to look at :P

Also: if dumps keep on re-appearing (loads of numbers in neat rows and columns) every few seconds then you're probably in a boot loop, and should either Reflash or just Wipe settings / cache. Or both :)

Sometimes your phone will need to do a lot of work while starting up. If you use "adb logcat" you will see if it's really stuck or just busy.

Now I am getting Looping in Free Xperia Project image.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mikel96:
i have a problem... when i turn on my phone, it boots into the freexperia bootscreen, but then, it reboots, all the time... i can only go into the CWM recovery.

Sorry for my bad english:(

Edit: i didn't see the post before!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Koulis2000:
Same here, after flashing kernel, I can never boot to the ROM for use, only on CWM Recovery.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
The steps are:

1: copy rom and gbapps to sdcard

2: Unlock bootloader

3: Flash kernel

4: reboot into CWM

5: flash rom (using flash zip from sdcard)

6: flash gbapps (using flash zip from sdcard)

7: in CWM select wipe data and cache

8: in CWM select reboot :)

At what part are you stuck?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Koulis2000:
OK, charging my phone and I'll try once more. Also the kernel is the X8 thing in firmwares right?

NOPE, in CWM the installation is aborted always, it says getprop.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
Sounds like something is wrong with your download, or your phone is not recognized as X8?

re-download the package and do it all except point 2 (no need to unlock bootloader again).

The kernel is what you flash using the X10FlashTool. In the program you click on "flash" and select x8 as your device. The part on the right side only lists what parts it will flash. If you didn't select X8 it might have flashed for the E10...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Koulis2000:
It is recognized as E15i.

EDIT: OK FXP kernel with Ginger DX. Checked About Phone and the Kernel Version is 2.6.29-FXP.

EDIT2: WiFi gets error when trying to turn it on.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragan985:
You have to change buildprop. Jus reboot to Your current rom, find the file build.prop in system files. Open it with text editor,

Find every line that contains X8 and change it to E15i.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
thanks, I downloaded this file from that link: X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf but the baseband is 006 and not 015. Anybody else know where I can get the latest firmware(FTF file) with the latest baseband 015.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ithunter:
yes look at previous post ... tht i already give u
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
ow thanks, overlooked it, will try to flash the 015 baseband
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Koulis2000:
Thanks, that one worked, now I have FXP kernel with FXP ROM.

EDIT: Also WiFi works like a charm.

EDIT2: Build in WiFi Hotspot Option(?), WTF that's great. Thank you FXP team.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] darkfrmr:
just another noob question :p

does this rom have the cypress digitizer problem of screen not being sensitive on bottom and right side?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragan985:
Yes this rom have the problem problem with screen, but it doesn't matter do You have synaptic or cypress digitizer.

This problem is related with All CM7 Roms.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xdelapan:
sorry for my noob question, but i really can't find the custom kernel XXX_CUSTOM.ftf. where i can find this file? thank you

EDIT : found it in firmwares folder..sorry. my mistake
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
ok guys sorry for the extremely noob question, i searched and could not find the answer :( is this kernel working with Ginger DX.... at first i thought it wasnt but the comment above has confused me......

also.....is there anywhere i can download the kernel without the ROM or flashtool?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
wifi don't work to me in GingerDX v12 with FXP kernel
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
@Godra

so far i've had 1 random reboot. And it locked up for a bit when i plugged it in while it was screaming for power (1%).

It works ok for me, but I don't use my phone for much more than sms and calls. And internet when my adsl was down ;)

A lot of the settings don't give feedback when you use them. Like the wifi hotspot might or might not get checked while it's running. It will get better :) This is their first release with the custom kernel. I hope they stay on the project until they've made a complete port :)

Forgot to do a battery reset so I can't tell about power consumption.

all features work

started optimising and we will release when we are ready

means the X10 gb kernel is ported to X8??what a great news..can't wait to the release sir...:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deedii:
Is it for this rom only or generic custom kernel?

Sent with love!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
http://developer.android.com/guide/basics/what-is-android.html

The kernel is the red part while the rom is the rest (and ofc you'll have more apps on the top layer).

When it comes to kernel/rom compability this comes down to the rom rather than the Kernel. The Kernel runs on the hardware while the rom runs on the kernel :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] inooz:
hi guys,i just wondering why this kernel builtin cwm recovery but the rom is xrecovery,i mean no validate file in the package.

so after i success install custom kernel then flash the rom,it's aborted and make my x8 brick.

any one can explain to me how the right way to try this package?

I got a random Reboot while using the WIFI AP feature on my X8, the AP on X8 just stopped answering and I could not finalize its process. Then my phone rebooted. BTW, with V024, my battery just get 1 day of life :P, don´t know if it´s normal, just making a report :).

On Monday I´ll test the new version :), as I won´t see the new version of MiniCM on x8 :P

@FXP, could you insert on next release´s script the detection of TAG X8 with E15a and E15i??? It will make ppl happy as they don´t need to flash stock or edit update-script or build.prop handly. Thx :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
@FXP will this kernel work with other ROMS?

Woah..

Synaptics MT? I hope it will come true.

And the cypress became the fake DT.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
my initial impression on this release:

- very fast and smooth (in terms of scrolling and opening settings, apps, etc.)

- wifi and data are working very good

- camera force-closing when trying to capture(pressing the screen button), physical camera button doesn't work). anyways, camera is not a big deal for me

will update again later

thanks FXP!

EDIT: my apology guys, finally found it in the settings, the camera is working for VGA
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nyan:
Montag. Morning is monday
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Galon123:
like all camera modes?even with the vga mode?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
@galon, I think it is defaulted to VGA as FXP team is still working on full-mode camera. Don't know about others if they are also having fc on camera on this new release fxp027

@fxp, continuous blinking of led is still here when battery less than 10%
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bbeanss:
on the ROM the camera isnt set to vga at default, its set to 3MP so you need to manually change it to vga in the settings, it shouldnt force close after doing that.

Beans
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
for some reason, i cannot find it on the settings

EDIT: my apology guys, finally found it in the settings, the camera is working for VGA

@FXP

probably not a big deal for others, but I am having problem on transferring files wirelessly using QtADB program

the phone always reboots whenever I tried to transfer file(during/halfway of transfer the phone automatically reboots)

Had tried it many times but no luck, and the file I was trying to transfer is only a small file(less than 1MB).

Never encountered this problem on stock ROM and GDX ROM.

@all

since FXP releases are supporting swap,ext2,3,4

anybody has a working script for A2SD(Darktremor Apps2SD) that can be flashed on this ROM's CWM?

everything I saw on other threads is for XRECOVERY flashing only, TIA!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
What about https://market.android.com/details?id=ru.krikun.s2e?

Ref: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15418-scriptapk-s2e-simple2ext/

That forum might help you :) I'd think most that works on normal CyanogenMod will work on FXP's adaption. Just make sure you're on class 6 or over :)

Also: http://www.darktremor.info/ - his script should be working on CM7. YMMW
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:

but, well, I already partitioned my sdcard with ext3(700MB) and it is not recognized by S2E app

anybody else got a working apps2sd on this FXP027? kindly share how you managed to do it

works better with it and also could you test is it scrolling smoother with 60 fps cap or without because i think it is smoother with 60 fps cap.
